Incorrect Google Ad frame in landscape mode

[dafdafydd]

I have a problem with Google ad display on XCode 6 GM and iOS8 GM. When I turn my device or the simulator to landscape mode, the Google ad does not adapt to it and keeps the same as it had in the portrait mode. With iAd and iPad as well as on iOS7 and the version of the app built with XCode 5.1.1, everything works as expected.

I produced the logs. The iOS8 one shows the incorrect behaviour on iOS8's simulator (the same happens on the device) while in the iOS7 part, everything works fine on the iOS7 simulator.

I can confirm the issue.

However, I think it is a bug in admob and not LARSAdController: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/google-admob-ads-sdk/nT1n7VqSjOk

Thanks for the info. Thankfully I managed to download XCode 5.1.1 and submit an iOS8 build with it.

If this in fact a bug in google ads, you can specify a lower version of the pod in your pod file and it will pull down that version.
